Service was quick, waitress was polite and patient to take our order for a big family on Fathers Day night. When my drink order was taken I asked if they had tap water instead of bottled waters which they were selling. She said no but I was welcomed to bring down my water bottle from the car if I had one. Which was really appreciated. The establishment was busy, parking lot was crowded and restroom was clean. The tacos were overly greasy so I'd recommend asking for "A La Plancha" or Tacos "saludables" which is oil from the when the tortillas are warmed on the grill and saludables would be a healthy option. They didn't taste any special or have a WOW presentation but they are 100% authentic and simple. Truthfully, I ended up getting Food Poisoning from the poor handling of food; the meat genuinely didn't feel cooked throughly. The order was rushed out within 7mins max and that was concerning. You do have to order everything separately to complete your meal which isn't a problem as most of the crowd seemed to comply to how the Buisness sells their products. Would I recommend this location on a busy day? No. Would I say maybe it was a long shift or just a bad cook that night? Maybe. Would I recommend them for The Valleys Best Tacos: Absolutely Not. I also don't plan on returning again but hope they improve how they handle their food. read more

Growing up in the RGV, I consider this the OG Mr Taco location. This is a must stop when visiting the valley. The frijoles especiales, tacos de bistek & pastor are mouthwatering. They pack on the tacos with topping every single time. Their fresh limonada and salsa verde is delish too. Still #1 taqueria in the RGV, in my opinion! read more

Very tasty and close to me and it has very nice customer service and nice hot beans and good Salsa

Underneath that thick layer of queso fresco, are 4 juicy, and delicious El Pastor tacos. Each order comes with, the standard cilantro, and regular onions on top. In addition to the regular onions, you'll also get a heap full of grilled onions, on the side, and a-couple of slices of avocado. As a side order, I usually order the frijoles especial.. you'll get a cup of charro beans, with meat mixed in it (not sure if you can tell them what kind of meat, you want in it), then it's topped of with another heap full of queso fresco, and garnished with a slice or two of avocado. Then you can wash all that down with either American sodas, or Mexican sodas, or aguas frescas. This is my go place, when I crave some awesome tacos here in Browntown, ( That's Brownsville for non Valley peeps). Give them a try next time you're in town. read more

This place is simply brilliant! 5 star hands down. Best tacos that side of the valley (well at least Brownsville) ! I went to Mr. Taco Wednesday noon time frame. A few folks were there but it was not busy at all. This is the location right off of Boca Chica Blvd. so onward to the food. I ordered three tacos : one fajita and two pastor. I ordered it with everything so it was onions , cilantro and Mexican (white) cheese . This place gets the Rick 5 star approval because of how consistent and great the food is. Not only do they know how to make tortillas but the portions are fair and the food is great tasting . I enjoyed the tacos de trompo (pastor) the best. Use the red or green salsa! The green is my favorite and what I loved is that they even seemed to warm up the salsa ahead of time so it added that extra little touch to things. We ordered some loaded beans (forgot what they called them but it's an appetizer of beans with cheese and avocado). They are really good and hit several flavor profiles. If your in the area stop by you won't be disappointed. -Rick read more

Everyone has their favorite taqueria and Mr. Taco is mine and is the standard by which I find myself judging all others. There are a few things which make this one stand out. First of all you can order one or multiple tacos and aren't locked into a certain number. I usually get bistec, pastor, barbacoa or a combo of all three. Secondly, they are generous with the toppings including the avocado and cheese. Third, their grilled onions are SO delicious. And fourth, their meat is just so perfectly seasoned and delicious. At other places I've tried, the meat runs the gamut from bland to overly-strong, nasty meaty funkiness (here's looking at you El Ultimo). Add a frijoles especiales to your order (charro beans with toppings) and a perfectly sweet-tart limonada! Enjoy! We will certainly be back! read more

Mr. Taco is so good at what they do, it should be Dr. Taco at this point. I used to live on the other side of the RGV, and couldn't imagine a trip to SPI without stopping by Mr. Taco. Recently, I was in the area, and dropped by. I was thrilled to see that other than socially-distanced seating (and enhanced to-go service), Mr. Taco hadn't changed one bit! Also, I greatly appreciate Mr. Taco's willingness to put up with my terrible Spanish. My go-to order -- which should be yours too -- is an order of bistek tacos, with avocado, grilled onions, and a dusting of queso fresco. For $7, you will find yourself floating on a corn tortilla through taco euphoria. I am thoroughly convinced that Mr. Taco's tacos are the best tacos in the world. Thank you, Mr. Taco, for making 2020 a little bit better and continuing to bring taco joy to the RGV. read more

I love this place. The tacos are legit. The service is very good. The servers are attentive and polite. It's very much a local diner feel and I love it. Perfect prices too. Please come by and enjoy. The Barbacoa is my favorite! read more

The tacos are delicious, but a few minutes ago I bought an order and they gave me cold food, and the person who paid him the money was very racist towards me. read more

Might be the best street tacos in Brownsville. Must stop here and get the Frijoles Especialses (Special Beans). These new and are ooAcked with beef, cheese, and avacado. The tacos are very filled. Had to use many napkins because they packed these tacos. Open since 1999 and still a brownsville favorite. Service was very fast. And they give you a crazy amount of limes with your order. read more

Lovely little place to grab some really good tacos! I got three barbacoa tacos and they were sheer perfection! Covered in enough cheese that you couldn't even see the tortillas! You just had to reach in and feel for the edges. And the taste? Wonderful! The service was great as well! If you live in Brownsville or when you visit, check out this Mr. Taco! You can't beat the price either! My 3 tacos and a bottle of coke were less than $10! Looking forward to my next visit to Bville so I can go to Mr. Taco again... read more

I have to admit I am not a big fan of Mexican food. The cheesy name of Mr. Taco didn't leave me any good impression either. But who would have thought Mr. Taco had the most amazing Tacos I've ever tasted. While visiting Brownsville for two nights during my tip to SPI, I wanted to find a good local restaurant for dinner. Yelp pointed me to Mr. Taco. Meh was my first reaction. But after reading all the good reviews, I decided to give it a try. My dining experience was certainly an adventure b/c it was a Spanish speaking only restaurant. I had to point to the pictures to place my order. But the staff there were super nice nevertheless. I ordered the bistek and barbacoa tacos to try. My order came quickly with loaded cheese, cilantro, grilled onions, and a huge bowl of key lime. The food was very fresh and flavorful. The best part? The taco is 99 cents each! Yes, 99 cents!! I couldn't even believe it. The second night after a long day at the beach feeling exhausted and starving, I went right back to Mr. Tacos b/c of the positive experience I had the previous evening. This time, I ordered one of each five flavors on the menu and a soup. Again, my order came quickly. They were just as good as the day before. My only complaint was that they put too much cheese in the soup and also on the tacos. I do like cheese but eating too much isn't healthy. Other than that, five stars! Some reviewers were saying that they crossed the US-Mexico border to try some tacos in Mexico and thought Mr. Taco was better. Damn, I ain't crossing no border to get tacos. Isn't that dangerous?! I am eating here at Mr. Tacos next time I am in town! read more

The tacos were delicious, and the portions are good! Loved their barbacoa tacos, frijoles especiales and their taco pirata!

Over priced shity tacos, not to mention horrible rude staff that doesn't care at all about customers service.

6 tacos is not enough!!! It's finger licking good, try the bistec tacos with a dab of salt and salsa and get a glimpse of heaven. One if the most authentic taste of Mexico north border!! Family friendly, lots of seating, and tv screens for soccer games! Be sure to be ready to eat when you come, service is fast so be sure your friends are all here when you order or they might miss out! read more

Best tacos we've ever had! With Covid we haven't ate out much but this place was super clean! It's probably the cleanest taqueria I've been to. There was someone constantly cleaning on the other hand the service was GREAT. Our waiter was so sweet and kept checking on us. The tacos were bomb! We got them with everything and we could barely fit it into our mouth, they are not stingy with their meat, cheese, lemon, or sauces. The lemonade was so refreshing! I never leave reviews but this place so delicious!! 10/10 recommend!! read more

Mr Taco - Tres Asada tacos with cilantro y queso y limón - Mexican Near Me - Brownsville, Texas

The first time we came here we fell in love with the food! We visit from Houston and loved to come here and eat the Tacos de bistec, and frijoles preparados (boiling hot the way the should be). However, our last two visits we have been greatly disappointed, our beans were served cold once we asked them to please heat them up and they came back warm. Our last time this week the beans were served warm and our tacos were also warm almost cold. Won't be coming here anymore. Two stars because the waiter was very nice and the food was not her problem. read more

Upon walking in, I was concerned for what I was getting myself into due to the cleanliness. I've never seen such a disgusting floor in a "restaurant." There's food, napkins, paper all over the floor, and tables needing to be cleaned up. Unfortunately, none of the staff seem to care. It's concerning to even think what the kitchen must look like if they allow the actual seating area to be that unkept. The restroom trash cans are overflowing with toilet paper...another disappointment. Once you get over the uncleanliness, you hope the food is worth the environment. Being a frequent visitor to Mexico City, I can say they don't have a clue on how to make "tacos al pastor." They should just take that option off the menu, since it's the worst attempt I've ever had. I felt like I was eating burnt crispy red scraps from I don't know what animal. As for their beans, they weren't bad, but Ultimo Tacos are way better. I tried the bistec tacos, and I think that's the only reason why I even gave them 2 stars. The meat has flavor and if you're okay with a greasier tortilla it adds more flavor. They could do with less cheese, but overall they were good. They don't compare with actual tacos from Mexico City, but they can satisfy the craving. With all that said, I will continue to frequent Ultimo Taco for the peace of mind that they care about hygiene. read more

Even though this is the only taco joint that we've been to that has run out of queso blanco, and if its not the cheese they were running out of it was the tortillas they had run out of. despite those major hiccups, They do serve up some awesome authentically Mexican 'street tacos! Its a city staple and one of the two major taco joints in this border town. Between Mr. Taco's food and the other major competitor, I'm pressed to say its a close toss up. Although the other one may be busier because its convenient location next to the highway, but its waitstaff isn't known to be as courteous or attentive, to say the least. I'd recommend to hit up on the Tacos Mixtos (Bistec & Tripa) and Frijoles Especiales. You can't go wrong! Bon appetit! read more

From the start the waitress was rushing us to order our food, the place was not busy it was rather slow did t understand why she was rushing us. Took her 30 minutes to bring out our tacos other tables that arrived after us got there food before us! Grabbed the first taco and was cold ... not a bit of warmness! Fed up told waitress my issues respectfully and we would like to cancel our order. She Rudely threw the receipt our table and left. I also had to drive 30 minutes just to get a taste of these tacos that took forever and ended up not eating. Going off all the yelp reviews I didn't expect this! poor performance and service, if I'm ever in the area again I might give it a another shot but hopefully the expectation is fulfilled read more

Service was good! Very attentive staff! The food came out super quick which was pretty awesome too! In my opinion they put too much cheese on the tacos but that's just me. Food tasted well.

Mr Taco - Taco order and special bean order. - Mexican Near Me - Brownsville, Texas

Gosh this tacos are the best and the especial beans are to die for. They have a green salsa that is really good that makes you wanna slap your mama. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to eat barbacoa during the week. The tripas are ok but I got a rock inside one of the tacos so I try to stay away from those tacos and stick to the basic ones. I also have tried the quesadillas but naaa not my cup of tea. read more
